“Now the freaks are on television, the freaks are in the movies. And it’s no longer the sideshow, it’s the whole show. The colorful circus and the clowns and the elephants, for all intents and purposes, are gone, and we’re dealing only with the freaks.” - Jonathan Winters

It's much easier to pick on the type of people that will pray and hunt for the good in everything, that to pick on the type of people that will hunt you down and prey on you. What goes around comes around. Hopefully it's sooner than later.

One of my best friends has his own real estate company that also works with the Amish, which is very unusual. They tend to pay cash for everything or they don't buy it. And they tend to buy large farms that have been done in by all the Federal Farm laws for famers who failed due to those laws/debts.

So they get large farms with lots of land, cut off the electricity and all outside connections to the house and farm and live their own quiet lives in a, mainly, honest and open way.

Then comes along the developers and the towns folks who want their lands for development. And the town folks, typically newer people just moving in the area, that don't respect others who have lived a good and honorable life...and they go after them.

It's a sad state. Once you experience one of these events in person you can begin to understand why the Amish and their counterparts refrain from contact with the outside world.
